Wilson Lab (Placental Gene Therapy and Fetal Programming)
Led by Rebecca L Wilson · Obstetrics and Gynecology

What we study
The lab develops a treatment that delivers a growth gene to the placenta using tiny particles, aiming to help babies who are not growing well in the womb. It also studies how this treatment affects the baby's liver and kidney development later on.
